unhappy with bridal makeup preview: what to ask for going forward?

Hi, So I did a hair and makeup trial yesterday for my bridal look for my wedding in July. I'm attaching two photos - the first is the first makeup I received (I couldn't see myself while she worked), and the second is how it changed after I asked for some revisions. I'm still not very happy with the look, but I also don't wear makeup a lot, so I think that's part of the shock for me.

My sense is that maybe the artist doesn't know how to work with older clients (I'm 42), but I don't know how to help her help me. Does anyone have advice on what I can ask for that will help us improve this? Going in, I asked for a foundation-free look that is natural and glowy. I don't wear a lot of makeup, so my goal was just some color correcting and enhancing. I thought this would be fun, but it was actually a pretty bad experience.

Thanks for any constructive feedback!
